Depends. I do contract work, and I'm replaceable. I'm nice anyways, but I'm even nicer given my status. However, there are some people that are essentially irreplaceable, and they make more in a week than I make in a month. They're all assholes, but the powers that be capitulate to their every whim. I'd love to get qualified for what they do and replace them, regardless of the pay benefits. How can you make over a hundred an hour and be such a petulant, whiney baby? If I was making that money, man, I'd be literally the nicest person. Like, who gives a shit? You make wheelbarrows full of cash, so… who cares about minor inconveniences? And I'm not talking about work issues, I mean they whine about the same damn contract paperwork everyone has to fill out. It takes 10 minutes. I'm not doing it for you, no one will, so just… do it? Baffling.
People get paid lots of money because they get results that generate even more money. Those people are given that money based on a track record of success. That success comes from making demands, and being cut throat. There is a very slim chance you can be nice and successful. It sucks, but that's why they are assholes, because that's who survives in those environments. Look at c level execs or really driven managers and it's all the same "success at any cost" mantra. Also 10 minutes of paperwork at $14 an hour is $2.50 to the company while that same 10 minutes to this "top earners" is $20, or over an hour of a minimum wagers time. That's why I am against huddles in the first place, they are money pits.

More money === bigger asshole
Very few exceptions to that rule.
What kind of job are we talking about here that makes these so called “wheelbarrows of cash”?
Nuclear power.
